Daddies Be Cool
Are you the only other one who could see all that shit on the wall?
And are you the only one who believed a word I said at all?
And at some point, a meat cleaver fell from the sky
And split our shared existence in two
There's something about that you might not have known
But it's something that I always knew

You could ask me, but you don't
I could tell you, but I won't
I'm just thinking

Some mornings I see my reflection and think
Lord, I'm fine in this vessel of mine
Some mornings I seem to go days without thinking at all
Time ran over me in the way that leaves so many
Face-down and flattened for years
Now my makeup's a mess
I can't zip up my dress
Don't I look as confused as I feel?

So daddies, be kind if your baby boys grow to be cowgirls
Oh, daddies be cool if your baby boys grow to be cowgirls
Show them the love they deserve
And don't ask them to change

'Cause a good heart can't soften a hard mind
And a hard mind can cause so much pain
